Demotix: photo partner
...are two distinctly different things. I was one of those who pointed out that the insecurity and non-secrecy of the ballot might have an effect. Almost by definition, anyone who took part in this exercise would be more-than-averagely concerned about democracy, and therefore more attuned to such concerns. Glad to see this picked up in your PS, not entirely sure that it doesn't inform your footnote [1].
In practical/presentational terms, were pictures/graphical 'icons' for the common features (or absence of them) ever considered for the 'voting paper'? I'm afraid I can't imagine the Electoral Commission ever signing off on something so complex, but there are quite a few things that could be done to make it more comprehensible.
